Google Maps Mashup Tracks All Primary Elections Tonight

Who needs CNN or (gasp!) Fox News for keeping track of the primary elections across our nation's states? Google has created a singular, comprehensive map for tracking all of the primary elections, so you don't have to flip between news channels to see what's going on with the closest election race in US history. See it here.

There's only a handful of states that will be holding their primaries tonight, and they all happen to be rather important for the overall outcome of who will be running for president this year. So in case you weren't paying attention to the primaries in other states, leading up to tonight, Google has one giant map mashup to fill you in on all the details.

If you plan on doing any live coverage yourself, through a self-broadcasting tool like Mogulus or something of the sort, feel free to use the Google Map to your advantage. It's also embeddable, though getting the width and the height to work for an average blog is rather tricky, as the ratio for the embeddable map option is not kept intact for the gadget's content, as you can see below. How disappointing.
